Quinno _ left this review about The Old Ale House
Being on a very tight schedule time and notes on this one are limited. Absolutely rammed, though staff were efficient. GBG listed and an impressive cask line-up (6?), luckily I remembered to record the beer - West Coast Session IPA by Firebrand Brewing Company “Really good one, plenty of fruity zip” which I think probably equates to an NBSS 4. Monkey nut shells all over the floor (!) and a wooden alehouse-y interior. The beer fever hit home heavily when I ascended the stairs to discharge some ballast only to find a dance class in full flow. It’s a really good pub this one and I’d like to come back with a bit more time to spare, rather than the 10 minutes I’d budgeted this time. Is listed on the CAMRA Outstanding Restorations & Conversions website.

Yes this is the town tap pub for the Skinners Brewery and you would expect several hand pumps and cask taps on the bar dispensing their ales and beers in good condition. But was also good to see an 18 tap keg wall behind the bar with several craft and cider offerings. But had to go Skinners cask and the Betty Stoggs was superb
Stripped back no frills dark wood interior with a low beamed ceiling and a solid wood floor ( with sawdust sprinkled over it to give that true ale house experience), it’s quite dark inside, but with no TV’s or fruit machines and a laid back sound track playing there is nothing to get in the way of the drinking experience.
